Come party and network with VentureBeat, Kleiner Perkins, and the DEMO community this week at our DEMO meetup event.

VentureBeat and Kleiner Perkins are hosting a DEMO meetup on Thursday, February 9 at the Dutch Goose in Menlo Park. Ten companies will be selected from dozens of applications to participate in a feedback session with a Kleiner Perkins partner and VentureBeat’s own Matt Marshall, executive producer of DEMO.

During the evening, the 10 companies will be given the opportunity to present attendees in the DEMO Alpha Pitch 90-second format.

We invite you to join us, DEMO alumni attendees, this year’s demonstrators, local entrepreneurs, and VCs for a casual evening of cocktails and conversation. Complimentary drinks will be served from 6-8 p.m., courtesy of the AARP.

The meetup kicks off the DEMO Innovation Tour where Matt and the DEMO team will travel around the country to connect with the global DEMO community in search of the best innovation to showcase at DEMO Spring, taking place April 17-19, 2012.
